Dr. Gabor Forgacs is a theoretical physicist turned tissue-engineer turned entrepreneur. His companies are pioneering 3D bio-printing technologies that will produce tissues for medical and pharmaceutical uses, as well as for consumption, in the form of meat and leather.
The first time I saw Dr. Forgacs was at last year's fantastic Idea City conference in Toronto and, after his passionate presentation on suffering-free leather, I knew that I will have to find a way to get him on my Singularity 1 on 1 podcast.
During our 45 min conversation with Gabor we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: his journey from theoretical physics into bio-printing and entrepreneurship; the founding and goals behind Organovo and Modern Meadow; bio-printing of human organs, meat and leather; "cultured" vs "in-vitro" vs "Frankenstein" meat; his greatest dream...
My favorite quote that I will take away from this interview with Dr. Forgacs is: "Dream, dream, dream! [...] We live in a time when it is really difficult to say: "This is impossible!""
